WD Align System Utility - Powered By Paragon 2.0

WD Align System Utility – Powered by Paragon is a disk alignment tool for WD‑branded Advanced Format (4K‑sector) hard drives. On older Windows systems or after cloning/imaging, partitions can become misaligned, leading to extra read‑modify‑write cycles and reduced performance. This utility analyzes the drive, identifies misaligned partitions, and aligns them in place to help restore throughput and responsiveness.

Typical scenarios include fixing partitions created under Windows XP, correcting layouts produced by legacy imaging software, and aligning volumes after migrating to a newer Advanced Format drive. The Paragon engine provides a guided workflow with clear status reporting to streamline the process.

Important notes:

• Always create a full backup before making partition changes.
• The tool targets specific WD Advanced Format models.
• Modern operating systems usually create properly aligned partitions by default, so the utility may not be necessary in those environments.
